As with all my videos, this one is with lyrics for worship. I wanted to do a human video with this song, but it just wasn't working with the words.... but I like how it came out. Hope you do, too. The song is sung by Chris Tomlin.

Amazing Grace - Michael W. Smith




Uploaded on Jan 13, 2010
"Amazing Grace" is a Christian hymn written by English poet and clergyman John Newton (1725-1807) and published in 1779. With a message that forgiveness and redemption is possible regardless of the sins people commit and that the soul can be delivered from despair through the mercy of God, "Amazing Grace" is one of the most recognized songs in the English-speaking world.

Newton wrote the words from personal experience. He grew up without any particular religious conviction but his life's path was formed by a variety of twists and coincidences that were often put into motion by his recalcitrant insubordination. He was pressed into the Royal Navy and traded to a slave ship where he began a career in slave trading. One night a terrible storm battered his vessel so severely that he became frightened enough to call out to God for mercy, a moment that marked the beginning of his spiritual conversion. His career in slave trading lasted a few years more until he quit going to sea altogether and began to study theology

Valerie,

I woke up this morning of 10/26/2016, with this beautiful song--"Amazing Grace, My Chains Are Gone," floating around in my head!

Have you too, had this same experience with not only "this" song, but other such songs/or hymns?

Maranatha!
